Bruises and sprains – Start the treatment
around 12 hours after the accident and
continue until any pain and all stiffness has
disappeared.
Dermatitis, boils – Healing is promoted by
regular infrared irradiation, if used in
conjunction with remedies prescribed by
the doctor.
Wounds – Wounds heal quicker with
treatment using the infrared lamp. At the
same time, the risk of infection is reduced.
For infected wounds and for cases in
complex locations, consult the doctor
first.
Chilblains and cold feet – Chapped skin,
chilblains, numb fingers, occasional cold
feet etc are caused by reduced blood flow.

blood vessels expand and stimulates
circulation. However, it is important to start
the treatment in good time.
Caring for Your
Appearance

demands sufficient circulation. Daily
treatment with the infrared lamp proves
time and again to be indispensable for
beauty care, as this infrared heat has depth

more quickly if the infrared lamp is used
before and after application. It makes no

with a scalp massage, can help remedy
temporary hair loss.

significantly increased by transitional or

Important for the
Sportsman
If the infrared lamp is used when
participating in the various forms of sport,
the blood flow is intensified.
This may help to improve sporting
performance.
The infrared lamp can also be used during
a break, in conjunction with a massage, in
order to relieve tiredness, muscle cramp
and stiffness. Small injuries such as
sprains, bruises and strains can be
combated effectively.
Treatment of Animals
The healing heat of the infrared lamp can
also be used for sick or injured pets: e.g. in
the case of bruising, sprains, muscle pains
(race horses and dogs), eczema, bald
patches, skin and teat infections, swollen
ankles and poorly healing wounds. Infrared
treatments have proven to be
advantageous even after dogs have been
trimmed.
